The trade wlu abnormally dull yester
day In wheat and price changes were
held within a range of ic Business was
confined largely to tho ranks of the pro
fessionals, with tho number ot outsiders
extremely small.
Thtre was. an undercurrent of strength
which was caused by-the advances In the
markets of tho old worla, together with
rains in India, where the harvesting ot
wheat Is now progressing, and tho fact
that the country Is out of. the running as
an exporter under present circumstance.
Smaller world's shipments were a help
frqm tho standpoint of a bull and the
fact that Manitoba wheat was offered
only In small quantities at Liverpool,
and that the continent was In the market
for the cargoes orf the English coast
verft Htpudvlnir factors.
A cable was received from Antwerp by
the Armour Grain company in which it
was said that the Argentine Republic
twos making mirchases of wheat In AU
stralla. This cablu attracted considerable
attention In wheat circles, nut it lauca
as a prico maker, Duluth was reported
as a heavy buyer of wheat In the Win
nennolls market during the morning', and
this was believed to have been a reflec
tion of export takings, but this wheat
was resold before the close. Duluth re
ported tho entire absence of demand from
abroad as well as from mo aomcsuc
trade.
Under rather bearish circumstances
and conditions the corn markut held Its
own and allowed a small upturn for the
dav. Commission houses report notices
of consignments of corn as Increasing
and prospects for a liberal incrcuso in
the movement. Kansas City reported
nearly ICO cars left over unsold In that
market Saturday, and this was reflected
by tho small takings at Chicago yestor
day, purchases amounting to only 45,00)
bushels.
Thero was a dull and narrow market
in oats, but the feeling Was strong, In
sympathy with that In wheat and corn.
Chicago Is now carrying 10.166,000 bUBh
ls. There wore decreases in all stocks
for tho week. The trade reports an ln
creaso In the country movement.
Pit detectives In the provisions market
advanced the opinion after tho close last
night that the selling or way ana juiy
lard was on foreign account. Local longs
realized, and this depressed provision
prices moderately.

ing off In tho stock pile nt Minneapolis,
notwithstanding that Nebraska wheat
was being drained north instead ot to
Kansas city or Chicago.
Kansas reports ot crou damage had a
bullish effect on tho wheat market Just
before the close. It was said that
throughout the state snow covering had
disappeared nnd that In some places the
ground was badly heaved, and the roots
ot the wheat plant exposed. It was also
asserted that only the .astern hum ot
Nebraska was at present protcoted. by
snow.
Corn bulged on account ot tho wheat

vorable Argentine crop reports concern
ing late sown fields. There signs also
that feeding had become mom general
in the United States and that thaws
might bo oxpected which would put
many country roads out ot condition. In
tho oats trade, the smallness of country
offerings had n bullish Influence.
Moreover, shipping sales from hero wero
enlarged, nnd according to one authority
reached the best total In a month.
Eastern longs threw provisions over

monthly showing of stocks in ware

mission houses, though, absorbed the
offerings, and aided by the tipturn in
grain overcame most ot tho loss.

ilOQS Supplies were liberal this morn
ing, estimates calling tor 216 cars, or
about 16,700 head. For the two days tho
erelpts total 15,910 head, being nearly
5,00) head smaller than last week and
over 2.500 head short ot the correspond
ing aavs lust year.
Trado during tho early rounds was
rather slow and dnll, As buyers' first
bids were no more than steady, while
most of the salesmen were holding their
offerings for higher money. H did not
tako traders a great while to get to
gether though, lor there was a good
buying demand, and a compromise was
soon effected, so that when the supply
finally started to move values were fully
steady, and In most cases a little
stronger. From this time on the market
showed little or no change, and tho big
end of the offerings sold on the basis
namea. .Movement was fairly active
most of tho tlmo and a fair clearance
was made hv a reasonarlv earlv hnnr.
On the rlose nf I ho mirliM nnu t,rv
good hogs brought the extreme top to
ijie figures show little on no ohanira
as compared with Monday, the bulk sell

SHEEP It was another case ot tho
pnekors wanting some good sheep and
lambs this momltii. no thev went nround
and bought such kinds In good season nt
prices fully steady with yesterday. Tho
bulk or a liberal supply or lambs was
good, nnd while trade had only a fair de
gree or activity, a clearance or such
grades was inude nt n reasonable hour.
The In-between grades, forming a smaller
percentage nt the receipts than on the
day previous, helped their sale some.
inough the market on them was rather
slow. Prices on tho In-between kinds
were steady to easier.
Most ot tho lambs sold at a range of
$7.00r7.55. Some. wheat field grades from
Idaho sold nround $7.15. About four or
tivo lonus ot lambs, carried over from
yesterday, wold to a feeder buyer this
morning tor 3U..6.
ino size of the aged sheep receipts
Was pretty much the same vnatcnlnv
with owes, an usual, predominating, and
me general quality only fair. There wan
nothing strictly good In this division on
sale. What ewes were offered moved
largely around $4.90Bf.,10. A bunch of
yearlings, being a straight cut of some
which brought $6.00 yesterday, sold nt the
same price today.
The receipts, being estimated at 11.000
head, were liberal, comnsred with nn
and two weeks ago. Last Tuesday 10,280
head were yarded, and two weeks ago the
receipts amounted to 8.147 head. Taking
the first two days of tho week together,
the receipts root up 27,500 head, being 3,479
more than on the same days last week,
10,931 more than two weeks ago and 1,199

WASISNGTON, Feb. 17. President
Wilson will veto the Burnett Immigra
tion bill It It comes to him for his sic
nature with tho so-called literacy test
contained in It.
This becamo known from an authorl
tattvo source tonight after Chairman
Smith ot the senate Immigration commit
tee had announced that the bill, virtually
as It passed tho house, Including tho
literacy test, would bo favorably reported
to the senate soon. Prospects are that
the bill will pass the sennto its reported
from the committee, but the measure
never will becomo law, according to close
friends of tho president.
l'ivors Other Means.
The president docs not consider litoracy
a test of character, and believes some
other means should be devised to prevent
undesirable aliens from entering the
United States. He told callers today
that he had given his view to the senate
committee and had left It to them to
mako It public or not, ns they chose.
Tho literacy test has twice proved the
stumbling block of Immigration legisla
tion, once In President Tart's adminis
tration, and prior to that during the In
cumbency of President Cleveland. Presi
dent Taft vetoed a bill on account ot a
literacy provision, and President Cleve
land let a prior measure of the same
character die at tho end of tho admin
istration by falling to sign the bill.
Not In Accord With Camlnettl.
It also becamo known tonight that sug
gestions with referenco to Chinese and
Japanese Immigration, made to the house
committee on Immigration last Friday by
Commissioner General Camlnettl ot the
Immigration bureau, are not In accord
with the vlows of the president Mr.
Camlnettl'a views wero exprosed without
previous knowledge by tho "White House.
